Barcelona Fined for Racist Behaviour in UCL Clash Against PSG

Barcelona have been fined for racist behaviour and other actions by their fans in their Champions League quarter-final first leg at PSG.

In addition to the racism, Uefa also charged Barcelona over their supporters lighting fireworks and causing damage at the Parc des Princes.

The Spanish club will have to pay a fine of €32,000.

Barcelona won 3-2 in Paris, but lost Tuesday’s reverse fixture 4-1 at home to go out of the Champions League.

In addition to the fine, Barcelona have been banned from selling away tickets to their supporters for their next match in a Uefa competition as punishment for the racist behaviour, although the ban is suspended for a probationary period of one year.

Barcelona must also make contact with PSG, who will meet Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semi-finals, within 30 days to settle the damage caused by supporters in the stadium.
